The UK’s premier cross-collaborative event for emergency services, The Blue Light Show, brings thousands of professionals together in one place to celebrate the latest innovation and education in protecting and saving lives.

The Blue Light Show will deliver comprehensive exhibition and conference programmes over the course of two illuminating days – organised by the award-winning What Else Events Ltd. – in London at an iconic central venue.

What to expect from the event
Answering to unique and constantly evolving demands in society, the emergency services also have needs of their own, and The Blue Light Show aims to meet a number of these. When it comes to procurement, the event showcases products and solutions which will help shape the future of response operations.
This is achieved through its exhibition, which gives a platform to leading suppliers and initiatives across the board. In addition to the cutting-edge technology and equipment on display, guests will be able to access plenty of services which underpin the safety, comfort and wellbeing of many a frontline worker.
The NPHS’ home for the exhibition will be at Stand S67, as our representatives proudly share the multiple benefits that come with private healthcare to police officers, staff and their families.
Some products will also feature in live demonstration zones, forming parts of immersive training features on the likes of extrication, rescues at height and haemorrhage control. This is only the start of event’s audience presentation, however, with over 80 CPD-accredited conference sessions set to cover the following:
- Operational challenges
- Emerging technologies
- Leadership strategies
- Team dynamics
- Recruitment and retention
- Mental health and wellbeing support
- Interoperability
With the last area a key theme of The Blue Light Show as it looks to promote common best practice between different emergency services, there will be many opportunities to share knowledge in various networking spaces.
One-to-one contact time with exhibitors can also be arranged through a collaborative procurement zone, which promises a confidential environment to discuss partnerships and negotiate deals.
Who is the event for?
The Blue Light Show is designed for emergency service workers of all roles, ranks and responsibilities. It is particularly valuable for senior leaders, decision-makers, procurement professionals, training leads and frontline responders.
